'Mid-Century Modern Design' exhibit ends Sept. 21 at Cranbrook museum

A dazzling summer exhibition at Cranbrook Art Museum — “Everything Eventually Connects: Mid-Century Modern Design in the U.S." — closes this weekend with a must-see panel discussion that will examine the role of curators in modern museums and in Detroit specifically.

The large-scale survey of one of the most important movements in modern American design takes an in-depth look at Cranbrook’s pivotal role in its development, as well as the contributions of women, LGBTQ+ individuals and designers of color during the period,. It features nearly 200 works by more than 80 artists, architects and designers.
